Who We Are...

McElderry House Lodging is a special place that provides housing to patients and patients’ families who are visiting the Johns Hopkins Medical Campus. We also welcome medical professionals and students who are visiting the Campus.

McElderry House Lodging offers seventeen townhouses, all situated across from the east (Wolfe St.) entrance to Johns Hopkins Hospital. Townhouses may be rented in their entirety, or as single bedrooms with shared common areas. When a single room is rented, shared or private baths are available.

The townhouses are furnished, complete with a fully equipped kitchen and washer/dryer. Wireless internet, local phone service, basic cable television, and central heat & air are provided. All of the townhouses are close enough to Johns Hopkins to take advantage of free, hospital-provided shuttle service back and forth to any Medical Campus building. Please explore our web site and feel free to contact us with any questions.

Our History...

In August of 1992, Johns Hopkins Home Care Group’s first “travel” home care nurse arrived in Baltimore, accompanied by her fourteen year-old daughter. The nursing assignment was supposed to be temporary, and they both anticipated going back to their home in Michigan within a year’s time.

The teenager became increasingly aware of a strange pain in her upper left arm, and in March 1993 finally brought it to her mother’s attention. She was promptly referred to the Johns Hopkins Orthopedic Department and was subsequently diagnosed with Osteogenic Sarcoma, a type of bone cancer. She underwent two months of intensive chemotherapy, followed by a twelve hour limb-salvage surgical procedure, involving both a bone graft and a shoulder prosthesis. Ten more months of chemotherapy followed the surgery, and there was no recurrence of the cancer. She remains healthy today.

After her daughter’s recovery, the mother founded McElderry House Lodging in 1996. Today, both of them manage McElderry House Lodging, providing comfortable, home-like accommodations to out-of-town families coping with challenging medical situations.

...Thank you for helping us on short notice and for going out of your way to be there when we arrived.  Being so close was perfect and the room was excellent.  I would not have been able to stay as long had we gone to a high priced hotel. We are extremely grateful for all you've done, and for all those who made it possible...
